Re: Asymmetrical Ship Sets
Taera, I wasn't thinking on that small of a level. Yes you are correct very few if any humans or other organisms are truely and perfectly symetrical. There are always small imperfections. And for that metter interally we have many organs that are only one side or the other. But overall the tendancy of living things in our experience is towards, if not perfect symetry at least balance. Even plants whish are about the most asymetric lifeforms on our planet will tend to be close to symetrical on some axis, unless forced to be asymetrical by some outside influence.
As far as genetic engineering is concerned the question really isn't whther or not it is neccesary to be symetrical, but whether the designer would choose for it to be so. If the designer is from a species that evolved basically sypetrically as humans did, would they not feel more comfortable with that as we are? I don't know, but I tend to think they would.
You pictures are very cool by the way. I like them a lot.
